Last Sunday, my sister and I took her kids to Cedar Point for the afternoon. We didn’t get a ton of time there, but that’s what you get with a toddler! There’s no way we were going to leave the house before Austin got a good nap in. (Adrianna is young enough to just nap most of the time we were at the park.)
Jillian has a season pass (the kids get in free) and she let me use a 1/2 off coupon, so luckily I only had to pay $22.50 for admission. It’s sort of a lot for the 4 or so hours we were there, but I’m so glad we went. It was my first time at The Point with Aussie!
It wasn’t quite as cold as we appear to be in the pictures (we started out more bundled than necessary). Luckily, the sun was shining!
Just after we arrived, we caught the daily parade coming through. Austin liked the halloween costumes, and I liked the Ghostbusters float with a giant Slimer!
When the parade was over, Austin knew right where he wanted to go – to ride the cars!
He’s incognito!
After some fun on the kiddie rides at the front of the park, we stopped in the Snoopy Cafe (that’s what I call it anyway – I think technically it’s got some other name) for dinner. Basically just a Pizza Hut with Peanuts characters painted on the walls.
Austin kept us entertained.
He really loved his new Snoopy I bought him!
They were having a clearance sale at the Snoopy Store… anything you can fit in a bag for 10 bucks. We got all kinds of fun stuff. (I bet they’re giving away that stuff for free this weekend, since it’s the last of the year!)
Adrianna woke up to have some dinner too. No pizza for her quite yet, though!
I just love this kid.
Austin was excited to make his return to his first roller coaster, the Jr. Gemini! So far, he had only ridden it with his Aunt Caitlin. Now both of his Mommy’s sisters have had the privilege of taking him on board!
He loved it at the beginning and the end of the ride… but in the middle started freaking out a bit. I just held him a little tighter, and he was ok. He was even excited when they took us around a second time!
He’s getting so independent. He insists on doing everything himself – including exiting the ride!
I can’t wait for next year, when Adrianna can join in on the fun a little more! (And hopefully John will be able to come with us too.)
That’s one lucky Mama!
And I’m such a lucky Aunt!
